Arena of Honor - Season 2 Round 14 -A walk to remember

Its Sunday again, we're halfway through December now and it's time for Arena of Honor again, one of the most liked events across Westeros. With only 2 rounds left from this season, everyone is trying to get as many glory points as possible and achieve the highest rank they can as there are some very good rewards "at the end of the rainbow". [N0X]LadyKnight is surely trying to do the same and even though she's not in range of Glory King rank anymore for just 6 points, the King rank its very close and she'll do everything in her power to achieve 'it.

With just 10 glory points separating her of the next rank, she decided to swap her chosen time to play and instead of going at 6 p.m. she chosen early morning this time, 6 a.m. timeslot to be precise. She still didn't have a team and at this point with so few rounds left she decided to stop looking for now and instead concentrate on finding a team for the next season. So, at 5 a.m. sharp she woke up and prepared her troops and dragons, got hot tea for everyone because it was a very cold morning and then started marching towards Mercenary Camp for yet another solo adventure. She arrived a bit after 6 a.m., it was still completely dark outside and went to the registration office to sign the participation papers. After signing them she went and gave her troops a peptalk, just in time as the matchmaking started and everyone was eagerly waiting to know their teammates and their enemies for the fight.

Just a few minutes after the matchmaking started it was time to enter the actual battlefield and upon entering LadyKnight checked her teammates for this match, and while there weren't any familiar faces from the other Arena of Honor rounds or from her allies, the warriors she was matched with didn't look weak at all. Fighting along her for House Baratheon this time, in the North-East forests of Westeros, were [0Ch]Logan 1, [IXA]hiromax, [DSS]oDDo, [DSS]Greystarry, [HHH]Khal Drogo H, [TwS] kao154768, [PRP]Stalker, [PRP]Hepb and [GuR]DEATH Knight.

She was quite happy with how her team was looking but as always, it's not only about your team in Arena of Honor, but about your enemies too so she made a quick swoop to check what or rather whom the other houses invited to fight on their side. There were no warriors ranked in the upper side of Westeros charts but still some House invited full teams instead of players from the mercenary camp. The match however looked winnable and LadyKnight started thinking what she'll do with all those glory points.

The time for inspection ended, it was now time to fight. As all other Arena of Honor fights, it starts with the opening of strongholds and for this fight specifically LadyKnight was chosen by the system to be the commander of House Baratheon, so she had to give the tone on what to built and build for her teammates that were maybe a bit slow. She went with Trading Posts as its kinda normal for the teams made of warriors from Mercenary Camp to build those.

Quickly after that it was time for the opening of the rest of strongholds along with Altar of the Stranger. LadyKnight's usually goes for the first Altar and she did so in this fight, took out the NPC's she found residing there but an attempt to swoop her out of the altar was made quickly after by [OBV] Draugelis and his cavalry. Lucky enough for LadyKnight her spears were present at the scene and put up a very good fight.

There was no other attempt made on the Altar of the Stranger so after 2 minutes it went into House Baratheon's possession. However as more and more altars opened the fight went more chaotic and soon enough another attempt on Altar of the Crone was made by [GEU]KingRagnar92. LadyKnight sent her spies and when they got back with the report, upon reading 'it, LadyKnight noticed he was a cavalry warrior too, perfect target for LadyKnight spears. A quick solo was assembled, and the Altar was cleared of its occupation.

House Baratheon were doing everything they could to keep their altars and even occupy as many as possible from enemies, their points per minute were good and they were on pace for a top 3 placement or even better as the City of Glory, the most important building, was about to open and occupying 'it its almost every time a guaranteed win. First to try for House Baratheon was [PRP]Hepb but he was a bow warrior and nobody from House Baratheon took bows into the battlefield, so his rally remained empty. Seeing this, LadyKnight decided to make her own rally on City of Glory, for the first time in this season and try to take the city. Sadly, for her and House Baratheon, she lacked reinforces and upon the rally hit she had to admit defeat.

Later in the fight another attempt was made on occupying the City of Glory for House Baratheon by [CYn] Logan 1 but same as LadyKnight's attempt it didn't have enough reinforcements and the rally was deflected.

After this rally, House Baratheon decided to give up on the City of Glory as their forces weren't enough to take 'it and the time was running short, so they decided instead to go for altars and try to save their ranking position. Unfortunately for them, while trying to take City of Glory their attention deflected too much, and they lost too many points per minute to be recovered in the few minutes left of the fight, so the House Baratheon finished on 4th place. Sad result for LadyKnight, despite her fighting valiantly and getting 1st place in overall eliminations and 2nd place in overall healing, her team didn't manage to get any glory points, and she remains at 170, just 10 points away of the King ranking. But not everything is lost as there is 1 more round to be played in 2 weeks. Will her team manage to place high enough for her to achieve the desired ranking? We'll see in a few weeks. See you on the battlefield!
